Analysis Note

This application shows the separation of steroid hormones in plasma using LC/MS/MS. HybridSPE-Phospholipid removed endogenous phospholipids and precipitated proteins, thereby allowing rapid, sensitive analysis by LC/MS/MS using an Ascentis Express C18 column. The highest grade LC-MS solvents were used to supply low background interference and low particulate contaminants for robust, trouble-free operation. Cerilliant CRMs provided reliable identification and quantification.
